2. Step 1: Journal Summary Questions Other Tasks
Did you know that it can take months to design a book cover for a book? Creative Directors consider everything: color, shadow, font, image, etc. They not only want to appeal to a particular audience, but they want to communicate something about the book through the design.
Together, study the cover of your lit circle book. Discuss everything about it—the color, objects, type of text, etc. Write down what you notice and what that might mean about the content and tone of the book. What message could the design be sending? Why would the creative director choose that picture, image, or design over something else?
*You should write your journal entries together. This means when you bring them up to me, I will see almost identical entries. Each person should make contributions to the entry.
